    The devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, in proximity of each other, and you would need to go on the iPhone to Settings>Phone>Calls on other Devices. That has to be turned on and the iPad selected. I believe an icon should show up on the iPad.

    You need to enable iCloud on both devices with the same Apple ID. Then go to Settings/iCloud and turn on Contacts (and anything else you want to sync). After doing that on the iPhone go to settings/Phone and turn on Calls on other devices.
